Virus Cleaner

A utility aimed at removing the vaccine.py virus from the currently openened maya scene and from your system. This is a "harmless" virus, but you don't want it to spread.

Clean Scene	Infected scene cleaned

This doesn't prevent the virus to infects your system/files again. For this you can have a look at this thread :

Utilisation

Compatible with Python 2.7 and above.

Copy the virus_cleaner.py file in the Maya Script Editor and run the script. A window should appear.

You then have the choice to only check if your scene/system is infected or check and delete the virus.

API

If you don't want to use the interface you can use it like a module :

import virus_cleaner

viruses = virus_cleaner.check_virus_exists()  # type: List[virus_cleaner.BaseVirusObject]
virus_cleaner.delete_virus()

The function has to be executed in a Maya context to work.

Note that delete_virus is already calling check_virus_exists. They can
both be called independently.
